Gerrymandering is when a party in power redesigns voting districts so candidates from that party are very likely to win elections.
Both parties have done this.
This process allows a small number of politicians currently in power to hold on to that power.
It also creates fertile territory for extremists to take over the party, win elections, and remain in power.
A single party controlling elections is the biggest threat to American democracy we have.
This is how democracies can quickly become autocracies… and eventually dictatorships.
So what can be done about it?
Well financed, democracy-committed, and talented candidates from both parties need to be urged to run for office… and then all democracy-committed citizens must vote!
